Huh? This wasnt the night sky, it was early evening
Doesn't matter. People not familar with the sky in general can mistake objects for a number of things.
Venus, for instance, is visible in early evening and has been mistaken for a UFO many times.

I know.. First it's a meteor. Then NASA proves it could not be a satellite. Then NASA says it was a satellite.

Talk about bunk!
Is that supposed to show that it wasn't a sattilite?

I suggest re-reading earlier posts about why military personal were there.
Pay close attention to the stuff on Cold War mentality.

Or are you pulling a Moon Man on us?

Project BlueBook sends three agents to investigate. They find it's a Russion satellite, not a UFO, and report such back to Project Bluebook. NASA told to keep mum on findings. NASA says "Ok, whatever", and goes back to working on sending men to the moon. Citizens, long after the fact, begin to claim to be "eyewitnesses". Their accounts are largely debunked. 40 years later, it is deemed no longer an interest to national security to keep mum on the story, so NASA says "Meh, it was actually a Russian satellite", and, once again, goes back to working on sending people to the moon. Consipiracy theorists have a joygasm with story, as conspiracy theorists usually do, mixing baseless speculation, wild fantasy, while cherrypicking "facts" and ignoring (completely) any evidence that shoots down thier fiction.
I like this recap better.
